I rather have the fingerprint button!

I had a Sony Xperia Z1 mini, that was close to the size of a SE but had double the battery lifetime.

I did downgrade back to my SE (from iPhone 16). Big selling point (aside from its size and rounded corners) is the physical button with fingerprint. I missed that even more than I disliked carrying a big phone around.

Piracy = Piracy. Stop doing mental gymnastics to justify stealing. If you rip a movie and put it up on the internet, it's not preservation, it's piracy.

Even if you disagree with copyright infringement, it's not the same as stealing.

Patently false, just look as far as Netflix taking down exclusive shows and movies from their catalog. You would literally not be able to watch them anymore if not for folks putting them up online.

Copyright infringement is not stealing. It falls under no theft laws.

It may be a crime in certain situations (most notably, non-commercial infringement is almost never a crime unless done prior to a work's initial publication, but rather a civil issue).


FYI WiFi leaks the same metadata, so turn that off too if you disable BT.


Everyone prefers voting.. But to be able to vote, a vote must be happening. Protests are sometimes the only way to make a vote happen in the first place.

They are also a good communication tool for the world to see what the people are struggling with.


Similar? Very different. The HKmap.live app was build and marketed directly for the protests. It tracked social media and geolocated where the police and protests were happening, etc. This is a big distinction.


Is this true? My understanding was that Twitter was not really moderated, because of Dorsey?


Terrible. You cannot 'ls' if ls is not the right answer. Completely useless.


That's not true. You can absolutely use ls and other commands to poke around before creating the winning command.


They can. They don't want to though.
